Running exercise is not recommended during menstruation because it may lead to increased menstrual flow after running.
During a woman’s menstrual period, as the pelvic cavity is in a state of congestion, a greater amount of exercise during running may accelerate blood circulation, increase menstrual flow, and also tend to aggravate menstrual cramps. Therefore, women are not recommended to run during menstruation, but can do some soothing exercises, such as walking and yoga.
During menstruation, you should adjust your dietary habits, avoid overwork, combine work and rest, don’t stay up late, and ensure sufficient sleep, as well as pay attention to pubic hygiene, keep the pubic area clean, and change sanitary napkins as well as underpants frequently to avoid causing infections.
During menstruation, if you find that your menstrual flow is too heavy or your menstrual blood does not stop, it is recommended that you consult a doctor in a timely manner. Consult your doctor for details.
